Table of ContentsWhether it was fighting for policies that preserve and strengthen free, local broadcasting, investing in new broadcast technologies or providing the best service to members and delivering greater value through membership benefits and services, the National Association of Broadcasters continued to reach new heights in 2010.

As the premier advocate for America’s broadcasters in the nation’s capital, we remained focused on our number one priority – successfully promoting stations’ interests on many fronts in Congress and before the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Administration. The 111th Congress adjourned in December with broadcasters in a strong position on many issues that impact our industry.

Broadcasters successfully fought off attempts to pass the Performance Rights Act, which would levy a fee on radio stations simply for airing the music that provides free promotion to record labels and artists. We continued to aggressively advocate to ensure broadcasters’ ability to negotiate for retransmission consent was not upended by pay TV companies’ efforts to tilt the process in their favor. And we promoted spectrum policies that ensure consumer access to the full potential of digital television (DTV), including high definition and multicast program-ming and mobile DTV.

Also in 2010, radio and television continued to increase their relevance and grow their share of voice in the media marketplace.

With 239 million people listening to radio each week – an increase of 4 million in just one year – radio stations continued to reach new audiences through innovative programming and new outlets, like HD Radio. Television stations provided high-definition programming and new content via multicast channels and explored all the possibilities of mobile video. And NAB’s successful events – like the NAB Show and the Radio Show – showcased the latest innovations in the media world and brought broadcasters together to discuss the future of radio and television.

NAB’s success would not be possible without the engagement of its members – our grassroots strength makes an incredible difference. This past year, we welcomed many stations and the CBS and FOX networks to membership. We’re thrilled to have them as part of the team; our unity makes us stronger.

The 112th Congress will bring many changes in January, but workingtogether, we will continue to build a bright future for radio and television.

Together we will continue to scale new peaks, with one voice.

Retransmission ConsentNAB aggressively advocated on retrans-mission consent issues at the FCC and in Congress to prevent pay-TV companies from tilting the playing field in their favor. Working with network partners, affiliate and state associations, NAB continues to emphasize to lawmakers that the current retransmission consent process is working as Congress intended and that any changes would be harmful to the viewing public.

In response to a petition by pay-television providers at the FCC, NAB made extensive submissions, and met with commissioners and FCC staff, to refute arguments for changing retransmission consent. NAB submitted a new economic study again confirming that retransmission consent is efficient and benefits consumers.

NAB also helped conduct a series of congressional advocacy fly-ins allowing broadcasters to make their case directly to members of Congress, ran an aggressive print and online advertising campaign in Washington, D.C., and launched a new website, www.KeepMyTV.org, to serve as a resource for television stations and their viewers.

NAB will continue to lead efforts to protect broadcasters’ ability to negotiate in private market-based discussions for fair compen-sation for the retransmission of their signals by pay-TV providers.

Performance TaxBroadcasters have, thus far, successfully fought off attempts by the foreign-owned record labels to impose a new performance fee on radio stations simply for the airing and free promotion of artists’ music.

NAB worked with Reps. Gene Green (TX-29) and Mike Conaway (TX-11), and Sens. Blanche Lincoln (AR) and John Barrasso (WY), to introduce the Local Radio Freedom Act in the House of Representatives and Senate, resolutions to oppose a performance fee on local radio stations. Both resolutions received strong, bipartisan support with more than 300 members of the House and Senate supporting them.

NAB also actively opposed the Performance Rights Act, which would impose a performance tax on local radio stations, and prevented it from passing in the 111th Congress.

NAB executed a two-track strategy — utilizing the strength of NAB’s grassroots while at the same time participating in good faith discussions with the recording industry to secure a positive outcome for radio.

NAB successfully thwarted challenges to the retransmission consent process, which is critical to local TV stations’ ability to provide local news, community and emergency information, as well as top-quality entertainment program-ming to viewers.

NAB prevented passage of the Performance Rights Act, which would financially cripple local radio stations, stifle new artists and harm the listening public who rely on free local radio.

Advocacy: Making an Impact

6

NAB is the chief advocate for America’s broadcasters in the nation’s capital, committed to

educating members of Congress, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the

Administration on how legislation and regulations affect the broadcasting business, and

more importantly, the listening and viewing public.

NAB’s grassroots bolstered efforts to oppose the Performance Rights Act by utilizing the tools provided for broadcasters at www.NoPerformanceTax.org and taking to the airwaves with important messages about the issue.

At the direction of House and Senate leaders, NAB began discussions with The musicFIRST Coalition – representing artists, labels and unions – which have been productive and ongoing. In October, the NAB Radio Board of Directors endorsed certain conditions that could put this issue to rest and build a strong future for radio in a digital world.

Spectrum AllocationThroughout 2010, NAB has focused on promoting spectrum policies that facilitate consumer access to the full potential of digital television (DTV), including high-definition and multicast programming and mobile DTV.

With the release of the FCC’s National Broadband Plan, there were some calls to reallocate significant portions of the broad-cast television spectrum to meet claimed wireless broadband needs. In response, NAB has shown that both broadcasting and broadband are vital to America’s commu-nications future. Before the White House, Congress and the FCC, NAB has advocated for spectrum policies ensuring that Americans can maintain access to current and future DTV offerings and not lose access to quality broadcast television due to technical limitations or new spectrum taxes or fees.

A number of bills were introduced this year in both houses of Congress addressing spectrum issues, including legislation expanding the FCC’s authority to conduct spectrum auctions. NAB is working to ensure that any bill that may pass includes express language prohibiting the involuntary

reallocation of spectrum used by television broadcasters and preserves broadcasters’ ability to innovate in the future. Political Advertising and Lowest Unit ChargeNAB’s advocacy team was successful in preventing legislation that would have expanded lowest unit charge (LUC) advertising regulations. The LUC rules guarantee political candidates the lowest advertising rate for broadcast airtime during a defined period leading up to primary and general elections.

The DISLOSE Act was introduced in the House and Senate to address the Supreme Court ruling in the Citizens United case deal-ing with campaign spending limitations, but the Senate version also included changes to LUC rules.

NAB continues to promote spectrum policies that ensure consumer access to the full potential of digital television (DTV), including high definition and multicast programming and mobile DTV.

NAB’s advocacy team was instrumental in preventing an expansion of the current lowest unit charge (LUC) advertising regulations in the 111th Congress, which would have penalized advertisers who are not entitled to the same right to access as federal candidates.

7

NAB educated congressional leaders on the detrimental effects that LUC expansion could have on local television and radio stations. As a result, LUC language did not appear in the legislation passed by the House of Representatives and the LUC language in the original Senate bill was removed from the version brought before the full Senate. NAB continues to closely watch for subsequent attempts to expand LUC regulations as part of any future campaign reform legislation and to vigorously guard against the expansion of LUC rules.

The Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act and Upholding Designated Market AreasNAB protected broadcaster interests in the reauthorization of satellite legislation,including educating policymakers on the importance of the designated market area structure in providing viewers with high-quality local programming.

The law that governed the satellite television industry’s retransmission of broadcast television signals expired at the end of 2009, necessitating the need for congressional action. NAB was active in defending and advancing broadcasters’ interests throughout the reauthorization of the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act (STELA). NAB joined with the major networks and the affili-ate organizations to prevent the importation of identical out-of-market programming. Additionally, NAB secured an agreement on delivering local channels via satellite in all 210 television markets and helped prevent any weakening of the retransmission consent process.

NAB worked to ensure the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act (STELA) did not contain provisions undermining the retransmission consent process.

NAB has been working with the FCC and other federal agencies to ensure all mobile devices are broadcast radio ready, a critical component of any next-generation wireless alerting solution.

NAB continues working toward reforming unreason-able and unfair broadcast ownership restrictions. Ownership rules should be updated to reflect the dramatic changes in the media marketplace.

AdvertisingBroadcasters have a long track record in defend-ing the First Amendment right to advertise freely.

In July, President Obama signed into law the Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2010, a Wall Street reform bill with implica-tions for broadcasters. During congressional debate, broadcasters were successful in modifying language that could have been used to allow the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to hold a broadcaster liable for engag-ing in an unfair, deceptive or abusive act or practice because it carried an advertisement for a product or service that was later found to violate the new law.

Language ultimately included in the bill guards against charging broadcasters for a violation, and clarifies that stations will not be held in violation solely because they provided or sold time or space to a person or entity placing an advertisement.

While NAB and its coalition partners defeated proposals to expand the FTC’s rulemaking authority, it is expected that the FTC will again request increased authority to regulate advertising and impose monetary penalties on broadcasters. NAB will continue to oppose legislation that would increase the powers of the FTC to restrict advertising.

Media OwnershipNAB continues its efforts at the FCC and in the courts to modernize out-of-date restrictions on ownership of local broadcast outlets that do not reflect current competitive realities in the digital age.

In 2010, the FCC began its required quad-rennial review of various rules restricting the ownership of radio and television stations

and the cross-ownership of broadcast outlets with newspapers. NAB submitted extensive comments and studies to the FCC demonstrating that reform of outmoded restrictions affecting only broadcasters would help radio and television stations maintain their economic vibrancy and their ability to serve local audiences in a highly competitive market. NAB is also pursuing a court challenge to the FCC’s order from its previous ownership review, which failed to take account of recent dramatic changes in the media marketplace.

We will continue working toward reform of the ownership rules that currently disadvantage broadcasters in today’s marketplace and impair local stations’ competitive standing and community service.

Public Safety and the Emergency Alert System (EAS)Broadcasters are proud partners with the federal government in delivering life saving public safety messages in times of crisis. Since the 1950s, broadcasters have been the backbone of the nation’s public warning system, and even in this digital age, it is battery operated radios and TVs that are the lifeline for emergency information.

NAB continues to work with the FCC and other federal agencies, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency, to ensure that next-generation EAS is implemented in a manner that serves the public interest in improved emergency alerting, while preserving broadcasters’ critical role in emergency warning. We are advocating broadcasters’ perspective as the FCC plans its introduction of annual, national testing of the EAS. NAB also continues its work with the FCC and Congress to promote the inclusion of radio

NAB supports a variety of tools that empower parents to better monitor and control their children’s television viewing.

NABPAC gives America’s broadcasters a voice in the political process by providing resources to support elected officials who understand the broadcast industry.

NAB is urging Congress to adopt a federal shield law permitting broadcast journalists to protect their confidential sources and provide important information to the public.

receivers in mobile phones, which will increase access to vital emergency information for millions of Americans.

Low-Power FM Legislation that would relax interference rules and allow low-power FM (LPFM) stations to operate on third adjacent channels to full-power FM stations received considerable attention in the waning days of the congres-sional session in December. The legislation, H.R. 1147, originally passed the House of Representatives in December 2009 and a Senate version, S. 592, was approved in the Commerce Committee in late November 2009. Over the course of 2010, NAB worked to secure improvements to the bill. As advocates made a strong push for passage of the bills,NAB engaged in negotiations with the Senate sponsor and secured agreement addressing our two priorities – clear defined rules on channel protection and service status. NAB also secured language that enhanced the interference protections and FCC enforce-ment sections of the bill. Once an agreement was reached, NAB offered its support and a revised bill – H.R. 6533 – was approved in the House and Senate in December and was signed into law by the president.

Children’s Television ViewingNAB continues its work to remind parents and all viewers that they have easy access to a variety of tools to control television content. We also continue to argue in significant court cases that these parental control technologies are the preferred, First Amendment-friendly way to address concerns with media content.

As directed by Congress in the Child Safe Viewing Act, the FCC in 2009 conducted an inquiry and reported to Congress on blocking technologies and parental empowerment

tools. NAB worked with other sectors of the television industry to inform the FCC about the many effective tools parents have to manage their children’s TV viewing, including the V-Chip. NAB also participated in a Senate hearing on children’s television in the digital age.

In 2010, the FCC initiated another proceeding exploring broadly children’s educational programming, media literacy and parental control technologies. NAB participated extensively in this still-pending proceeding, and will continue to monitor these issues carefully at the FCC and before Congress.

NAB has also argued in Supreme Court cases involving the regulation of media content that the more constitutionally appropriate role for government is to promote the development and use of parental control technologies, rather than attempt to regulate content. NAB submitted an amicus brief to the Supreme Court in a case involving the constitutionality of government regulation of violent media, specifically video games. Similarly, NAB explained to the Supreme Court in an amicus brief in the “fleeting expletives” indecency case how the FCC’s changes to its indecency policies have burdened local stations’ speech, especially live programming including news. Because the question of the constitutionality of the FCC’s indecency policies will likely return to the Supreme Court, NAB will remain active on these and related content issues.

Reporters’ ShieldBroadcasters recognize the importance of ensuring journalists have the ability to protect their confidential sources, and continue to advocate for a federal reporters’ shield bill to provide this protection.

In the 111th Congress, NAB, working with a unified media coalition, continued to push for passage of a federal media shield law. In March 2009, the U.S. House of Repre-sentatives approved legislation to protect journalists from being compelled to reveal their confidential sources, H.R. 985, the Free Flow of Information Act, by voice vote. Similar legislation, S. 448, was favorably reported by the Senate Judiciary Committee in December 2009.

NAB will continue to urge passage of this legislation to enable journalists – in appropriate circumstances – to protect the identities of confidential sources so that government and corporate whistleblowers will come forward to identify waste, fraud and other wrongdoing.

NAB Political Action CommitteeThe NAB Political Action Committee (NABPAC) is the only political action committee that exists solely to further the goals of America’s broadcasters. Since its inception in 1972, NABPAC has worked to ensure that broad-casters speak with a unified voice and have an influential presence on Capitol Hill. NABPAC gives America’s broadcasters a voice in the political process by aggregating resources to support pro-business elected officials who understand the vital role the broadcast industry plays in our nation’s economy.

In the 2010 election cycle, NABPAC supported more than 300 pro-broadcaster candidates seeking office. Additionally, in 2010, the PAC gained strength through the highest number of A-Listers in NABPAC history. A-List members contribute the maximum legal amount of $5,000 per calendar year. For more information, contact Laura Winters, NABPAC director, at lwinters@nab.org.

NAB’s Technology Advocacy ProgramFASTROAD (Flexible Advanced Services for Television and Radio On All Devices) is a long-term effort sponsored by NAB to accelerate the development and adoption of new broad-cast technologies. Recent projects include:

• Developing small antenna systems for reception of FM radio and mobile digital television (DTV), suitable for use in hand-held mobile devices.

• Working with iBiquity Digital Corporation, accelerating development and testing of digital booster and asymmetric sideband technology, which promises to help FM digital radio broadcasters improve the coverage area of their digital signals.

• Co-funding feasibility studies with iBiquityof a new AM HD Radio operational mode involving data-only transmission (no digital audio), which could provide AM broad-casters with a more affordable way to initiate digital broadcasts.

• Co-funding development of a new “smart radio” technology with iBiquity that could offer digital radio listeners a customizable listening experience.

• Researching speech recognition tech-nology for broadcast applications, such as automated captioning and obscenity filtering, and a technology tool enabling TV broadcast content on the Internet for consumers who receive TV programs over-the-air in their homes.

More information on these and other activities in the FASTROAD program can be found at www.nabfastroad.org.

Radio-Enabled Mobile PhonesNearly everyone has a mobile phone, making it ideal for radio’s emergency alerting capabilities. Yet cell phone carriers have not prioritized making free, local radio a standard feature on their phones in this country. By contrast, there are more than 800 million handsets in Europe with readily accessible radio service. And, in Latin America and Asia, nearly half

of all users list radio as one of their top three choices in choosing a mobile phone – making it even more popular than mobile Internet access or texting.

NAB is encouraging cell phone manufac-turers to include radio receivers in mobile phones sold in the U.S. This platform could reach 257 million subscribers and would be a cost-effective way of ensuring the public has ready access to lifesaving information.Last fall, Harris Interactive released the results of a nationwide poll, which revealed that an overwhelming majority of American mobile phone users would like access to their favorite local radio stations through a built-in radio receiver in their mobile phone.

NAB ran ads in Capitol Hill publications in September reminding members of Congress of the important public safety benefits radio enabled mobile phones would provide. In addition, NAB unveiled a new website for consumers – www.RadioRocksMyPhone.com

In 2010, HD Radio reached a milestone with 3 million receivers sold in the U.S. Several models of radio-enabled mobile phones were shown at the Radio-ready Cell Phone Showcase at the Radio Show in Washington, D.C.

Innovation:Capitalizing on the Future

12 13

Broadcasters are remaining competitive in the digital age and are investing in new

technologies that will carry them well into the future. NAB is diligently working to

drive the rollout of innovative technology platforms that are helping broadcasters

develop new broadcast services and technologies.

– that explains how radio-enabled mobile phones can easily connect listeners to the local radio stations they love for free, and provide lifesaving emergency information during times of crisis.

NAB will continue to educate consumers, poli-cymakers and the mobile phone industry on the many benefits of radio-enabled mobile phones.

HD RadioNAB is a key advocate in the transition to digital radio in the U.S. using the HD Radio in-band/on-channel digital radio broadcasting technology, developed by iBiquity Digital Cor-poration. This transition is gaining momentum, hitting important milestones in 2010. Retailers have sold more than 3 million HD Radio receivers, there are more than 2,100 HD Radio stations on the air and more than 1,250 multi- cast channels. The National Radio Systems Committee (NRSC), the industry’s technical forum for radio matters, co-sponsored by NAB and the Consumer Electronics Associa-

tion, published several important guideline documents in 2010, which assist radio broad-cast engineers in the proper implementation of HD Radio technology, helping to avoid interference and get the most out of what digital broadcasting has to offer. The NRSC also began an important effort to update the NRSC-5 Digital Radio Broadcasting Standard, which will reflect the new and innovative HD Radio technology developments made by iBiquity in the last few years.

Mobile Digital TelevisionNAB is a strong supporter of adapting digital television broadcasting for reception on mobile devices, allowing consumers to watch television wherever and whenever they want. NAB participates in several key initiatives that are positioned to make this capability a market reality.

NAB contributes to the technical and business planning activities of the Open Mobile Video Coalition (OMVC). Founded in 2007 with seed

money from NAB, OMVC’s membership now includes more than 24 broadcast groups owning more than 800 stations, as well as NAB, the Association for Maximum Service Television (MSTV) and the Association of Public Television Stations (APTS), all com-mitted to the development of mobile DTV. In 2009 and 2010, OMVC launched “showcase” cities where mobile DTV was demonstrated and consumer trials were conducted. NAB also has a strong participatory role in the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) – a key player in the mobile television movement. As a standards development organization, ATSC has been a pivotal technical forum for industry stakeholders to work out the technical details of mobile DTV service. With the help of NAB and other broadcast organizations, the ATSC published the final standard for mobile/handheld digital television in October 2009. NAB is currently helping ATSC create industry practices to assist implementation of this complex technology.

NAB is encouraging cell phone manufacturers to include radio receivers in mobile phones sold in the U.S., providing emergency information to Americans on the go.

Viewers participating in a consumer showcase on mobile DTV are enthusiastic about the ready availability of live, local news broadcasts and weather programming.

Broadcast Leadership Training ProgramThe Broadcast Leadership Training (BLT) program was designed to help improve the diversity profile of broadcast media owner-ship. BLT is a 10-month executive MBA-style program that prepares participants to purchase radio and television properties, or move into more senior level executive positions in broadcasting.

Now in its 11th year, the program has 169 graduates. Twenty-nine have owned or cur-rently own stations and more than 60 have been promoted since they graduated from the

program. Graduates of the program joined in celebrating BLT’s 10th anniversary at a Capitol Hill reception attended by U.S. Rep. James Clyburn (SC-06).

Sponsors of the 2010 program included: Bayou City Broadcasting, Hearst Founda-tions, ICBC Communications, Legend Communications, Morgan Murphy Media, New City Foundation, TDF and the National Association of Broadcasters.

Media Sales InstitutesThe Media Sales Institutes program strives to prepare recent college graduates for sales positions in the media industry. The founda-tion’s Media Sales Institutes at Howard University, Florida A&M University (with partners the National Association of Black Owned Broadcasters and Personal Selling Principles) and the University of North Texas graduated more than 60 students in 2010. The 10-day intensive sales training program continues to attract the best and brightest from college campuses across the country. In 2010, each site incorporated Web-based training and interactive media into the program.

Connections Mentoring Program Twenty-two broadcasters were paired with executives in the industry for the 2010 Connections Mentoring Program. Conducted entirely via digital platforms, protégés and mentors participated in Web sessions through-out the year. A professional networking site created for participants of the program allowed them to blog about their mentoring experience throughout the course of the year.

The competition is for student-created and produced radio and television PSAs to honor freedom of speech that address: “What freedom of speech means to me.”

Six scholarships were awarded in radio and television. In addition, the winning PSA entries were made available for radio and television stations nationwide to air during National Free-dom of Speech Week and anytime thereafter.

Call to Service CompetitionIn 2010, NABEF with a sponsorship from the McCormick Foundation, launched the Call to Service Collegiate Competition. This compe-tition was created to spark the humanitarian spirit of communications students by challenging them to develop a community service initiative and partner with a local broadcaster to execute their ideas. Students submitted these proposals to NABEF.

Winners of this annual competition are awarded scholarships ranging from $10,000 to $2,000, along with matching donations
